Stand next to the Mana Sabers and an npc, Archmage Nielthende, will appear and talk to you.

I first thought it was bugged and rode around the area like mad, but some guy in a forum post had the solution.

Comment by Talimar

The quest would only trigger for me when I ran into the area without mounting.

Appears to be fixed now.

If nothing spawns for you, then it's because you're riding too fast.

Found the archmage at the side of the road with her mana sabers

Coords are: 32.38, 60.16

Tomtom way for those who have it

/way 32.38 60.16 Archmage

Bugged for me. Finish up the bar, automatically dismounts me, and then I'm transported back to the starting area but it doesn't finish the quest. So I'm stuck just not getting the emissary chest.

EDIT: Relogging seemed to fix this.

I stood on one of the manasabers for several seconds and nothing happened, so I moved over to the other one. The NPC had been standing there the whole time but finally she spoke and gave the quest.

The manasaber mounts like a vehicle and then runs. You have to head down the path towards the Illidari camp on the coast, running through each of the blue mana spots on your way. Note that you'll get flagged for PvP running through the Gilnean camp, and you'll need to be careful as a couple of spots are right near the cliff edge. They're not always in a straight line, but are generally in a path leading from where the quest starts, down the Ettin path, then circling around the demon camp.

Make sure that you are not in a raid while doing it. For me it just reset after having the 100 while being in a raid.

The video tries to show the closest flight point, route and fastest way to complete the quest.

Comment by Tomon

This quest is useful for picking herbs. At the moment mana saber is the fastest mount on the Broken Isles and it allows you to pick herb the same way Sky Golem does. As a another bonus, while on mana saber you don't get agro. The only downside is that you are still moving which at greatest speed can give you some difficulty (you may need to slow down or time the moment you're near the herb well).Enchant Gloves - Legion Herbalism is required for this to work and be worthwhile.

Need someone to confirm this but I think I just discovered an interesting trick with maintaining your speed. It seems that if I jump and turn mid-air, it does not diminish my speed like it would if I had turned normally.

My manasaber jumped into the sea. :( There's no ley tracking in the sea....

Comment by Arexx

This is really simple to complete.

First, turn off any tracking you have, like mining, herbs and fishing so the only yellow dots you see are the ones you need to ride through.Second, zoom your minimap all the way out so you can see all the nodes you need to ride through.Third, stay on the path. Just follow the path you are on, if you don't see a new node to ride through, keep riding, one will appear shortly. Every once in a while you get some that are off the path a little, you can grab them, but they're not necessary, you will have more on the path guaranteed. If you do grab them, get back to the path.

Do this, and it is super simple.

Fun fact, even though you have an attack button, don't be tempted to click it -- you WILL be dismounted and kind of SOL. I finally was able to reset quest by flying to another zone and it ported me back to the quest giver as soon as I landed. I had tried to log out of game, right click quest, take a FP to another area in the zone, but nothing worked. So, if you get dismounted, try hearthing or flying to another zone to reset :D

Comment by Verenikin

I flew my friend to do this on a 2 seater mount and when they jumped on the mana saber directly off my back it didn't work. When they mounted me again I could see the goals and they got credit for touching them on my 2 seater. Part of the time the goals would disappear but if they could guide me to them they still got credit.

Suggestions did all the hard work, but when I pasted into Paste, it wanted to know if it meant Highmountain on the Broken Isles, or Jade Forest.
